Xperia M is designed to bring a fantastic compliment of Sony experiences to a new market at a competitive price point. One-touch functions with NFC connectivity, stunning design and a range of technologies including: a high quality screen for sharp viewing; smart camera functionality for impressive pictures and videos; Battery STAMINA Mode for outstanding battery life; and Sony’s signature media apps for enjoying photos, music, movies and games on the go.

As well as delivering outstanding experiences, Xperia M features OmniBalance design, first introduced in the flagship Xperia Z. Engineered to complement the slim style; Xperia M features colour-changing illuminations that can be personalised to visually alert you to incoming calls, text messages and alarms.

The new Xperia M will be available exclusively from Telecom NZ at an RRP of NZ$349 from Thursday 22nd August.

Only if you go through a parallel importer though. Most people are are going to price these up from a store and the SP is $600. I did just see it in Noel Leeming for $500 though. Would be interesting to see how the M compares to the S3 mini. That has just had a price drop to $350 from Vodafone and looks really competitive in terms of specs.

I got one of these from work and it overcame my prejudice against Android. I've had an LG and a couple of Samsung (S2 and S4 mini) in the past and developed no love for them, but the Sony Xperia M has been a good device for a good price (would I have bought it with my own money? Yes.).

I do have a pair on Sony NFC headphones, which switch to the Phone on contact, i.e. establish a BlueTooth pairing, which does add a little cheery to the cake.
